NATS Eyesight Requirements
I'm a bit peeved because I've just received a letter from NATS recruitment informing me that my application for Student ATC cannot proceed because my eyesight is outside the limits required to obtain the Class 1 medical. THIS IS AFTER I SENT THEM A COPY OF MY CLASS 1 MEDICAL! - I've already been to Gatwick, paid my £400 and got the damn thing! What is going on? Is the Class 1 for ATC in any way different (ie more strict) than for pilot? If so, why?
